  • 30. How to change

    Are you happy? Are you depressed? Are you angry, grieving, excited, motivated, tired, hungry, proud? Are there parts of your life that you feel are finally balanced and right where they should be? Are there aspects of that have been knocked off balance and you’re fighting to straighten out or have decided to give up on?

    When we want to change we struggle, and when we don’t want to change, it sometimes feels like we don’t have a choice, but the only consistent thing in life, is that things WILL change. This episode is all about how we can understand change, and hopefully make it a tad easier.

  • 29. Your fitness personality quiz

    This is a fitness personality quiz I made up years ago to help people identify the ways they 'fail'. And failure is a good thing! Failure is part of our success. But I also give you some tweaks and 'do it now' tips so you can use those failures to your advantage.

  • 28. Women's Day!

    "For most of history, ‘anonymous’ was a woman”. ~ Virginia Wolfe

    It is always interesting to me when I speak to the men in my life and most of them fully believe women do have equal rights and opportunities, but most of the women I know would say, “umm no, we aren’t there yet.”

    Let's also touch on the idea of equality and question whether or not that is actually the goal. Equality is this idea that we all get the same thing and get treated the same way. Equity is the idea that we all get what we need. Justice is the idea that the cause of the inequity is addressed.

    So this episode is all about equality, women, and a bunch of quotes to inspire and make you think :)

  • 27. Why not leave?

    The question that comes up so often around abusive relationships - "why don’t people just leave?"

    There are actually two things I am going to talk about. I would not call them mirrors of each other, but parallel tracks. They are not the same thing, but they share similarities in regards to how we might live life. Those two things are fitness and mental wellness. (not a big shock, right?!)

    I’m not gonna be giving you statistics  or scientific brain science  here… I’m gonna putting this in metaphorical terms.

    This episode will be helpful whether you are someone on the outside looking in or the person on the inside. And I need to stress the zero judgement part. A) I’ve been the person in an abusive relationship, and B) regardless of the topic, we have statistical data that proves judgement leads to downward spirals but compassion leads to upward spirals. What I hope to achieve today is more compassion around this topic.

  • 26. An emotion story

    There was a storybook I had as a child about a little dragon the size of a kitten. He visited a young boy who talked to him and played with him, but when the boy showed the dragon to his parents, they denied the dragon was there (because dragons obviously don’t really exist).

    The dragon got bigger. The boy took the dragon with him to school and the teachers all claimed there was no such thing as dragons... and the dragon got bigger. Everyone who saw the dragon insisted it wasn’t really there because dragons don’t exist... and the dragon got huge.

    This is a story about how to manage our emotions so they don't become huge dragons.

  • 25. Fitness Lingo

    Useful may be the unsexiest way to describe this episode, but practical and useful is what it has going for it! 

    We’re gonna dive into the fitness lingo and all the acronyms that, if you are new to working out in an intentional way, may seem like totally overwhelming gibberish. If you’re not new, I may surprise you with a few of these, (or not), but I still think you’ll get some new info from it because I’m also going to break down when each of these things is most likely to get you the best bang for your buck (if you are experiencing life in a female body that is)

  • 24. Escaping toxic fitness

    Imagine a product that failed for the majority of people who used it, diminished your enjoyment of life, and blamed you for not being good enough instead of trying to improve the product. Would you buy that product? Would you buy multiple versions of that product in different styles and from different brands? 

    If we replace the word product with 'diet' or 'fitness program' then the answer is probably yes, you already have. 

    In this episode I'm going to give a scathing review of the manipulative tactics used by the fitness and diet industry AND give you a crash course doing the only thing you can do...improve the relationship with yourself. We're gonna do that using relationship techniques designed for couples.

  • 23. An abuse story

    This is an episode about abuse. It is not intended for children and may trigger uncomfortable emotions or painful memories. It is an important story, but please look after yourself first.

    The purpose of today’s episode is not for me to give you answers, but to help you ask some questions. Questions, I think, we need to be asking as a society. I will tell you there is a mind blowing piece of the story at the very end so if you decide to listen, the essence of the story is in hearing the entire thing.

    As always, this podcast is not a replacement for professional help or meant as advice for your life and PLEASE, reach out to someone qualified in your area if you need assistance of any kind.

  • 21. Un-dieting

    Dieting bad. Healthy eating good. But how do you separate the two? Isn't it healthy to watch what I eat and avoid junk food? Aren't I supposed to lose weight for health reasons? What if I told you the answer to was no... How would that change your life?

    “Diet culture” refers to a set of beliefs that values thinness, appearance, and shape above health & well-being. It places importance on restricting calories, normalizes negative self-talk, and labels certain foods as “good” and “bad”.

    Diet culture sounds like:

    My thighs are huge

    That milkshake has way too many calories!

    You should not be eating that

    I look fat in this dress

    I need to go for a run after Thanksgiving dinner

    I was so bad earlier; I had a hamburger and fries!

    There is a better way. Are you ready to detox from dieting?
